They are much sought after for their rarity and durability.

Diamond jewelry has created a special place for itself in engagements and weddings, in the form of diamond engagement rings and wedding rings. These are the traditional choice for brides and grooms. Beginning a life together with an untarnished diamond is considered to strengthen the bond.
